With the soon to be released multiplatform Vulkan API, my interest in switching to Linux for gaming has increased quite a lot, so I'd like to get a good list going of free linux games, preferably with real-time 3D graphics but everything allowed
Examples:
Frets On Fire/FoFix (Guitar Hero clone)
0 A.D. (Age of Empires clone)
SuperTuxKart (Mario Kart clone)
Greedy Car Thieves (GTA2 clone)
Wormux (Worms clone)
Open Arena (Quake3 clone)
Urban Terror (Quake3 mod, free thanks to ioquake3)
Assault Cube
Huge list of open source games on GitHub
Windows games on wine or console games playable through emulation are not Linux games.
You can search for Wine compatible software in their database

Warsow and the original Nexuiz/its successor Xonotic are both great.

Free
Wine and PlayOnLinux are both free, what's your problem?
+ wine is just a compability layer to make Windows programs and games work on Linux and PlayOnLinux is a program that installs libraries required to make games run along with the game itself using the official installers

Probably pretty obvious but there is a good chunk of F2P games on steam with "steamOS" versions
There are tons of steam games that work including all major valve titles, LoL works great on Wine, as do most blizzard games iirc. Not sure about OW.

Free as in Free Beer and Free as in Freedom:
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
Brouge
Cave Story

its not really a linux game if you require Windows emulation to use it... thats another list for another day, besides theres obviously compatibility issues specially with newer games, and the performance might be far from optimal when using this kind of programs rather than native linux games.

Thats not exactly what im thinking about but yeah this is true theres a huge number of major game releases coming to linux this days and stuff with low requirements is mostly easy to emulate through wine
